Poll

Do you think the Eagles should extend DeSean Jackson's contract now?

Yes. He has earned it.

No. He's under contract. Time to report to camp.

Jackson must report by Tuesday if he wants to be an unrestricted free agent next off-season. The Eagles wide receiver has three years of service and needs another to become a UFA. He has now missed seven practices because of a holdout in search of a new contract.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie reiterated today that his team does not renegotiate contracts with players that aren't in camp. The Eagles are believed to want to extend their Pro Bowl receiver.
